To everyone considering paying 5 billion dollars per year to play gamecube games on switch

Take my hand. I can show you a better way

love it when I start getting "based on your likes" terf bullshit every few posts and I have to scramble back through my recent likes to figure out what innocuous meme poisoned the well

gender is made up nobody is doomed to any special horrible fate because of how they were born everyone gets to choose how they live their own life trans rights are human rights now TOUCH GRASS

*guy who has run out of fictional characters to inspire me voice* cuno wouldn't even fucking care about this. cuno would do whatever the fuck he wanted

In case you were wondering how it's going, JK Rowling has reached the "acephobic" stop of the radicalization pipeline

to the great surprise of absolutely no one

(and she's so much worse in the comments, fucking hell)

I'm grateful to everyone quote-tweeting her and pointing out all the ways asexuals are, indeed, marginalized and oppressed. As Thomas pointed out, they're lesser-known issues. But as an ace person, I'm more concerned with the way she completely invalidates our identity

This isn't a case of "you aren't oppressed because everyone already accepts your identity" (which we see a lot online), or the usual exclusionism. She's saying we don't have an identity to oppress. This is why she doesn't see posting hate against asexual people on international asexuality day as oppression (or, you know. wrong). The thousands of bigoted comments under her post aren't proof that people do, actually, discriminate against aces: she agrees with them, and is there riling them up.

As someone also pointed out, mocking people for not wanting sex isn't very I'm-only-protecting-women of her

I've been reporting terfs and the like on Pinterest (where they, sometimes, actually do something about it) and ace/arophobia is never far. It just got more obvious

Here's the full image she was commenting on, btw

Her bigotry has been quite apparent for everyone who has eyes to see it, and for a while now, but I still think this is a bit of a mask-off moment. She spent so long repeating she "just has some concerns" and "only wants to protect women's rights," but unless you're also acephobic, there's really no excuses for this.

She's at the point where she goes on twitter to publicly invalidate and mock asexual identity, as well as the discrimination we face, ace day, and all the "gender activists" who consider us part of the LGBT+ community (in the replies; I won't tell you what she compares it to). And that's because she knows her supporters will either agree or turn a blind eye... (if I see one more "no one can explain what JKR said that's so transphobic" I'm gonna have to do something drastic)

Also worth mentioning, it seems she straight-up doesn't know aromantism is a thing? She replied to several people saying you can be both LGB and asexual with "but then now can you tell who you're attracted to?" Which might not be the dumbest thing she's said, but it's up there

In a move surprising absolutely no one, JKR has now added asexual people to her list of people to mock and bully online. While obviously this is nowhere near the amount of vitriol she aims towards trans women in particular, it's continued evidence of her bigotry and yet another reason not to support or engage with the new HP show if her continued transmisogyny still wasn't enough.

Anyway fuck HP and fuck JKR.

i have a new theory called alive internet theory where i propose that the internet is full of real people and you can befriend some of them even and maybe actually kiss them and more

y’all ever remember something extremely embarrassing and just feel horrible about it

Pro Tip: Try to think of something embarrassing some else has done. You probably can't. Which means no one else remembers the cringe thing you did.

wait that actually helps so much

And here we see the uncommon transfem in her natural habitat, scrolling Tumblr, hugging her IKEA brand blahaj and eating stale biscuits at 2am. Based on her slumped position, self-comforting body language (such as rocking back and forth), as well as her generally unkempt look, we can infer that she is currently undergoing a depressive episode. Ah, she's about to cry again. Let us move on.

dont you dare

we are getting closer :3
